of our election laws, in their present con-
ditiop, are such as to enable the rsscality
and corrupt practices of the vicious to
thwart the will of the people. The effort
to facilitate the detection of frauds prsc-
ticed upon the people is creditable to the
wisdom of our legislators, whose action
in submitting the question to q
popular vote should be endorsed
and ratified by the people.
The proposed amendment allows the
Legislature ample latitude in which to
meet and provide for the punishment of
every violation of these fundamental
principles of representative government,
which are indissolubly entwined around
free ballot and, though we have little to
complain of in Texas, we should provide
for the future, when increased popula-
ton will make the struggle for place and
position flercer. The registration Of
voters in cities of 10000 or more inhabi-
tants is also q wise provision. In the
rural districts the election judges either
know personally or can ascertain to their
own satisfaction, the name OF every
one desiring to vote; his residence
and right to vote. There Is no necessity
for registration other than in very ex-
ceptional cases when the county can, II 1t
desires, take advantage of the law and
require registration. In the cities the
case is different. Here is concentrated
the idle, the vagabond, the dissolute, the
tramp, the vicious of every sort and the
criminal of every shade. Here too is
found that large floating element which
is always so convenient to carry doubtful
boxes on election day. They have no in
terest in the cities further than getting
what they can on election day for their
votes, and these votes aggregate very
often more than those of the honest men
who have their homes and their all at
stake, because the latter vote only once,
while the irresponsible votes as often
as he has an opportunity. In regis
tration we have cure for all
this. There can be no more tramps
rounded up and herded until election day
to be voted for the man who pays most
for them to the election broker. Railroads
cannot denude their lines snd fill the vot-
ing boxes with nom residents to carry
city elections, and the occ upation of the
vote broker will be gone. 1t will insure
for each city full and fair expression of
the popular will on ell questions of in
terest to Them without fear of having
their votes outnumbered by the mercen-
airy b allots of q migratory rabble.

AN Arkansas boy, Mr.. Charles G. Reid,
won the medal for oratory in the Wander.
bilt University recently. In his speech
he said: American law renders us 8
race of sovereigns. 1t sits with the pow.
ers of nation at its command and jeal-
ously guards the slumbering infant in
the cradle; it tenderly holds the palsied
hand of age while tottering DER the brink
of the grave, and leads the blind to q
home of rest and security; 1t rears mon.
ument DER the fallen patriots grave and
builds home for the wandering pauper;
it transforms yon PEASANTS vIne-covered
cottage into 8 turreted castle, and no
tyrant dare force an entrance at its
humble portals; it protects, undistarbed,
the congregated villagers while their
commiDgled voices float upward to God
in songs of praise and keeps it's vigil
DER their care worn bodies when con-
signed to rest meath the grass of the
church-yard." This is beautiful tribute
to our laws, but reference to "the con-
gregated villagers" must have been
written before the news of the San An
tonic rotten-egg performance had ar
rived

A GOOD BEGINNING.

The report of the Jury OF view" as
published in THE GAZETTE yesterday
morning is encouraging and the question
Of good roads for Tarrant county will
soon be settled. The committee, Messrs.
A. G. Brown, A. G. Walker, G. B.
Trimble, A. B. Clark and w. w. Buckner
deserve we'll Of our people and should
be encouraged in the good work they
have undertaken and, so far, so ably man
aged Their report on the line of road
from this city to Grapevine shows that
they are working for the ,wholeipeople and
for the best interests of the county. The
sum of S7031 for right OF way along
direct route is q mere bagatelle as COM
pared to the real value of a good
thor oughfsre, and the Commissioners
court should not hesitate to accept their
recommendation. The committee is to
be congratulated upon its splendid work,
and Tarrsnt county is to be congratu-
lated upon her efficient commissioners
Nor Is this all: those gentlemen living
along the proposed line Of straight road
are to be commended for the public
spirit, county pride and generosity in
granting right Of way through their
premises st such q nominal fig
ure of damages. OF course these
gentlemen will be rewarded in the en-
HANGED value of their property as soon as
the road is completed, but the road was
necessity, and they could have demand
ed and obtained much more were they so
disposed. Now let our commissioners go
to work with will and make a begin
ming on the best system of roads pos
sessed by any county in the state. Tar
rant has the population, the wealth and
the people to give her good county roads,
and she should have them. Under our
system Of taxation, every town in
the county will have to contribute
to the construction OF these roads, but
these towns, and especially Fort Worth
will not murmur, but, on the contrary,
pay the pro rata with pleasure and alac-
| rity,

PURIET TIE BALLOT.

The proposed amendment to the con.
stitution providing for the future con.
duct of elections is q measure which
should receive the most hearty and un-
qualified support Of every voter in Texas
Il is a plain, simple and salutary pro-
vision which ell can understand and
appreciate. It reads as follows "In all
elections The voting shall be by ballot,
and the Legislature shall provide for the
numbering Of tickets, and make such
other regulations as may be necessary to
detect and punish fraud and preserve the
purity of the ballot-box; and the Legisla-
ture may provide by law for the
registration of all voters in al
cities containing population OF
10000 inhabitants or more, and in such
counties as the Legislature may deem ad-
yisable." This proposed law must strike
every voter as being just the thing need
full to insure q full and free ballot and a
fair count. No good citizen will counte-
nance Irregularities or illegalities in cleo
tions. Unfortunately, all are not good
citizens, and the opportunities given the
vicious by the lax snd inadequate nature

Rice Killed by Salt Water.

POINT A LA HACHE, La, June l$.-zThe
brisk east wind of the past four days sas
driven the ruinous salt water of the Gulf
up, submerging all the rice fields from
this point to the quarantine station, g
distance of thirty miles, ana has forced
it inland up as far as La Chienche in St.
Bernard parish, and all along the east
bank Of the river to this point. The
damage cannot now be estimated, but if
bright sunshine follows the subsistence of
the floods, then not head of rice will be
made for thirty miles along the east bank
of the Mississippi.

THE CITY'S PURCHASE.

At the Council meeting yesterday after.
noon the Board of Aldermen voted adj
versely to sustaining the Mayors veto OF
the purchase of grounds for new city
hall, city offices, etc. The aldermen have
acted in this matter after due delibera
ton and must be credited with q
sincere desire to act for the best
interests of Fort Worth. The open
ing of thoroughfares that in few
years would cost the city thousands
of dollars to open is no small considera-
ton, and the Council could not hope to
buy property at a smaller cost in the
future, as real estate IN Fort Worth
is constantly approaching in value.
THE GAZETTE believes that time will
fully justify the Council in their action and
the names of the men who voted to make
this purchase should be guarantee that
none but patriotic motives governed in
the matter and no "rsbbit's foot" was
